Shelbourne, cup winners in 2022 and 2024, face Cork City in the other semi-final. The Dublin side will be favourites to overcome City, who beat local rivals Douglas Hall 1-0 in the quarter-final on Sunday.

That match takes place in Turner’s Cross, while Athlone face Galway United at Athlone Town Stadium in the other semi-final.

The games will be played on Saturday, 22 August, with the final taking place in Tallaght Stadium on Sunday, 27 September.
